Reach out!! Iβm always here for you! My other account is Paula Gaskins Ambrose
I made this one for a little more personal privacy.
I started Going through menopause at 28. Needless to say it was the hardest thing I've ever "not known"! Of course any doctor would say, "your to young". NOPE, I knew in my heart that something other than depression, night sweats, anxiety, And this list goes on! Being from a very strong background of women, I fought everyday of my life to feel just a little normal! Mo, I didn't take all those antidepressants the doctors prescribed me! I just knew better.
Fast forward~ 20 years!
As I'm sitting in the waiting room at my OBGYN's this elderly lady struck up a conversation with me about motherhood. I told her about my 2 boys and she asked me how old I was. I was 48 at that time.
I had been through a terrible divorce and my oldest son had been in a incident that left him in bed for 2 years! Yes, 2 years of barely walking not to mention he would never skate, skim, or surf ever again. Well let me just say, it left me with the most horrific grief you could imagine. Watching your child suffer put a true tailspin in me that's still alive today!
THIS... is why I do what I do.
Don't suffer in silence. Keep pushing yourself until you get some answers!
I remarried in 2016 and it was my saving grace! He protected me and my kids. He showed me I could be loved again.
Something I've always had a hard time with.
My nurse calls my name and I walk in the back going to my exam room crying, I mean whaling like a child! Thank God my nurses all knew me and came running when they heard me. Doc comes in and I can barely talk! Well at this point I'm sure she's gonna put me in a psychiatric facility.
No, she listened and simply said, can we get some blood drawn today? Well if you know me, I'm not about a needle and I actually get sick sometimes. This time I was more than happy to give my blood to her. She did a simple test that takes about 5 to 7 days for the results. I'm out of town when she called to give them to me. I had ran a stoplight and I was going down a one way street the wrong way! That's how confused I had been since I was 28.
She's laughing at me and im crying of course because that's what you do during peri menopause and on to the next 2 phases of it.
She told me I had no eggs left, I was not fertile and my FSH levels were at a 107! Wait, what? Omgosh a simple blood test could do all of this? Your kidding right! Nope!
After the thousands of dollars I spent on all natural remedies I did find one that did help me. Thank God!
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me. My services are for families and friends that just don't understand why their Mom's acting like this? Why is my wife not interested in me anymore? Why don't I have any interest in the things I once loved? Why am I balling at the sight of a sweet little puppy?
Don't live like I have trying to figure it all OUT on your own!
There are so many things that can help, you just need a little push. π
